Is containerd CRI compliant? Kubelet still interacts with cri-containerd which inturn calls containerd. Isn't cri-containerd the dockershim of containerd?

Maybe I'm mixing up things, pls correct me wherever needed.

containerd can serve CRI requests itself. This has been the case since the containerd v1.1.0 release[0], which included the cri "plugin" as an in-process part of the containerd binary. For a while, to keep up the plugin idea, it was in a separate github repo too, but these days it's in the main containerd repo directly[1].
